Name that Wave
It can't fix a car, but this does requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
The other word for amplitude.
What is volume?
The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
What is reflection?
The material (not too big, and not too small) through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
The bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle.
What is refraction?
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
The height of a traverse wave.
What is amplitude?
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
The bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening.
What is diffraction?
The rule that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
What is the law of reflection?
Two waves that are at the same point in their pattern strengthen or weaken one another.
What is strengthen each other?
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are closest together.
What is compression?
When a wave is taken in.
What is absorbed?
The interaction between waves that meet.
What is interference?
A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
A longitudinal seismic wave.
What is a compression wave?
The line where the wave starts
What is the resting position or rest line?
The measurement of sound
What is Hz?
This happens when two waves are at different points in their pattern and the interact.
What is weaken?
This causes you to see color.
What is light reflection?
